DIR. Samuel s. Fort gave an account of
a case of abnormal memory in the per
son of a congenital imbecile, aged forty
three years, now in his private institution.
The memory is the only remarkable
trait in this otherwise ordinary imbecile
He could compile a complete directory
of those whom he has met during forty
years of his life. He is very apt in re-
membering location and direction. Once
passing over a road suffices to indelibly
impress upon his memory the surround
ings. What he reads is his apparently
forever. Mention but the title of a
book he has read, and he will repeat the
entire contents. Mention an incident Of
tale. and he will give the title and the
rest of the tale. He has no power to
classify or generalize the things he re-
members.

RUSHING TO DEATH

in the attempt TO swim the Niagara
Whirlpool Rapids is no more reckless or
dangerous than to tritie with disease
which each day secures a stronger hold
and hastens the end of life. This is
specially true ot rheumastism, neuralgia,
sciatica, and nervous headache, which
though perhaps slight at first are extreme
lv dangerous, and steadily secure firmer
grip until at last the agony is uncomfortable
and sudden death brings relief.
These diseases can be cured by the use
of Athlophoros which, in connection with
Athlophoros Pills. never fails when prop
erly used. Read the following from those
who have tested it.
tism was cured by the use Of Athlophoros; (;
that of VIM Burns, 204 East High Street.
Springfield, Ohio. Said Mrs. Burns upoI
being asked as TO the rheumatism and the
cure: =" had been constant sufferer from
inhammatory rheumatism for twenty-three
wears, until | used Athlophoros, which is
two wears ago last April, since that time J
have not had any rheumatism whatever"
Had YOU bad attack at the time you used
Athlophoros? was asked. Yes, nv hands
were very much swollen and | suffered
terribly. but the Athlophoros was very
prompt in action and efficient in result, so
that it was but a short time after | com
menced its use before had relief, in fact,
one bottle has effected the cure. Al first the
medicine made me very sick, and deaf, and
was very hard to take, but persisted with
it and the disease passed off with the bad
effects. Do vou object to having your
statement published? was asked. Not at
all. think it grand, good medicine, and
would certainly resort to its use were l
ever afflicted with rheumatism again.
